Would you mind posting information on the strobes that you have installed? I'm looking for more visibility for my 1500.

Tks much, and the best going forward.

I think I purchased the strobes at AutoZone. I added them for when I was flying our Flag on holidays and charity rides.

The time has come to say goodbye to our Drifters.  The Bride and I have enjoyed Blue and Princess for the past 8 years!  We have an ad placed here to let our fellow Drifter lovers know that they're available.

This forum has been a great source of information for us, we really have appreciated being a part of it.

Regards,

2beers & TheBride

Thanks 2beers.Been there.Done that.My Indian chief vintage.

No doubt!

Have you found an 800 to add to your motorcycle history yet?

Beautiful bike.  Glad you're back!

Congratulations on your acquisition!  Drifters get a lot of attention, be prepared for that when you get to ride it!!!

One of our Drifters came with 4" risers, there was some rerouting of the stock cables.

From Blue and Princess

Sympathy to friends and family...RIP Ratman.  I think of you each time I see the tank badges you helped me find for Blue.

There's a specialty tool you can get to check the 800's oil, but it's pretty expensive.  The Part # is W-I-F-E.   

I really like it, looks good!  Makes the engine stand out better.

Blue is a 2000, 7331

Here are the pics of the solo seat bracket from a 2001-2006, and the 2-Up seat bracket from a 1999-2000, same mounting holes 

Sorry 2beers........

ah...already sold yours, eh?  It's ok, keeping it in the family 

I've decided to sell mine, Zoar.  PM if you're still looking.  I'm making up the ad for Classifieds today so you can see the details there.   

Congratulations!   

When we got our first Drifter, the PO made a point of telling us not to 'overfill' the tank at the gas pump (blocking the filler neck vent).   He said it would stall without notice after about 3 miles if we did.   Hope the answer to your stalling issue is this easy!

Hubby and a friend were at the gas pumps last week, 2beers on Blue and friend on his 'new to him' '03 Honda VFR.  A Harley dude approached saying, "wow, nice Indian!".  2beers replied 'Thanks, but it's not an Indian, it's a Kawasaki Drifter...a tribute bike Kawasaki made for some years."

Harley dude turned heel and walked off.  Friend said, "I've never seen a conversation end so fast!"

Can't please everyone lol!

...shaving that seat will help, Aimee!  I've been through lowering 2" front and back, plus a custom seat...  Perfect now!  3" lowering was just too much, unable to do parking lot speed bumps, unable to make turns at more than a crawl without dragging points on the frame  . )

Back to the original post...Here in GA we've had some beautiful riding weather lately, and a few days that were 'almost' too warm mixed in already.

--The Bride

Congratulations on that beautiful gift!  You and your hubby on an Indian and a Drifter will be a sight for many to see and smile about.  2beers and I both have 800's, and we love them a lot!
I also ride a Honda Shadow Aero 750, and though she's pretty, she doesn't get the same attention as my Drifter.     Enjoy and be safe!

--The Bride

Well, I always consider the two of us to be above average, and here we are again!!!

--The Bride

lol... We're wondering if it's one of the (many) people who have stopped to talk to us about our Drifters, and said they'll been looking to find one for one for themselves   

--The Bride

This time, what might be the same Red 800 drove right past our house!  Anyone???

any new pictures of HER work on Her bike....

Not yet.  I've been spending spare moments riding and awaiting a rainy day to play in the garage.     Will keep you posted!

--The Bride

Definitely two fine looking drifters . Nie job !

Appreciate it!
